McNamara Feeds are the new sponsors of the Meath hurling teams

Following a successful and well-attended PR launch, Meath GAA is delighted to formally confirm McNamara Feeds as the main sponsor of the Meath Senior, U-20 and Minor Hurling teams.

This new partnership represents a significant and positive step forward for hurling in the county, underlining a shared commitment to community, development, and long-term ambition. McNamara Feeds, a proudly Meath-based and family-run business, has a long-standing reputation for supporting rural communities, agriculture, and grassroots sport, making them a natural and highly valued partner for Meath GAA.

We welcome the sponsorship as a major boost for the game in the county.

This partnership with McNamara Feeds is hugely important for Meath hurling at all levels. Their support provides stability and confidence across our senior and underage structures, and it sends a strong message about belief in the future of hurling in Meath. We are extremely grateful to the McNamara family for their commitment and for coming on board as main sponsor of our Senior, U-20 and Minor teams.

The sponsorship will support all three squads both on and off the pitch, assisting with preparation, player welfare, and the continued development of hurling pathways within the county. It also reflects Meath GAA’s wider strategic focus on strengthening underage structures while supporting elite performance at senior level.

The PR launch, brought together players, management, county officials, club representatives, and members of the local community to celebrate the beginning of the partnership. The event highlighted the strong alignment between McNamara Feeds and Meath GAA, with both organisations rooted in hard work, tradition, and pride of place.

Meath GAA places strong emphasis on building sustainable partnerships with local and national businesses who share its values and vision. The backing of McNamara Feeds will help ensure that players at all levels are supported to perform to the best of their ability, while also reinforcing the importance of community engagement and local enterprise.

The sponsorship also comes at an important time for hurling in Meath, with continued progress being made at underage level and renewed ambition within the senior setup. Investment in these teams is seen as vital to maintaining momentum, increasing participation, and inspiring the next generation of hurlers across the county.

Meath GAA would like to acknowledge and thank McNamara Feeds for their trust, generosity and belief in Meath hurling. We look forward to working closely together over the coming seasons and to building a strong, successful partnership both on and off the field.

Further details on the sponsorship and upcoming fixtures will be shared through Meath GAA’s official channels in due course.

McNamara Feeds

McNamara Feeds has been announced as proud sponsor of Meath Hurling, strengthening its long-standing commitment to supporting local sport and rural communities. With a strong focus on quality, sustainability, and locally produced grains, McNamara’s continue to play a key role in supporting Irish agriculture. This sponsorship underlines the commitment and natural connection between farming and the GAA, both of which remain central to life in Meath.

As a local company they are proud to play their part in backing players, coaches, and volunteers across the county. They have a long history of working closely with farming families, and this sponsorship reflects their ongoing commitment to investing locally.

By manufacturing feed with native ingredients such as Barley, Wheat, Oats and Beans, they directly cut carbon emissions from transport and support national food security, showcasing how local production is crucial for a low-carbon supply chain. From seed to silo their commitment helps ensure Irish Farming is sustainable and transparent and provides the superior nutrition your animals deserve.

Meath GAA Chairperson - Jason Plunkett

Meath GAA is delighted to announce McNamara Feeds as the new sponsor of Meath Senior, U-20 and Minor Hurling teams, and I am proud, on behalf of our County Committee, to welcome them as a key partner in the development of the small ball game across the Royal County.

Hurling in Meath has a strong tradition, and it is also a code with significant potential for further growth at club and county level. Real progress requires consistent support for coaching, player pathways, and the day-to-day work that strengthens standards over time. This partnership with McNamara Feeds provides that backing in a meaningful and practical way, and it will help us to build on the work already underway across our clubs, schools, and underage structures.

McNamara Feeds is a name synonymous with commitment, enterprise, and community. They understand the value of long-term investment, and they understand that performance is built in the unglamorous moments: the training pitch on a winter evening, the early morning coaching session, and the steady development of young players who need encouragement, structure, and opportunity. Their support will strengthen our capacity to deliver those opportunities and to support the people who make hurling happen in Meath.

I want to acknowledge and thank William and Kevin McNamara for placing their trust in Meath GAA and in Meath Hurling. Sponsorship is not simply a logo; it is a relationship, and it reflects confidence in the direction of travel. We are committed to ensuring this partnership delivers value for McNamara Feeds and real benefit for our players.

I also wish to recognise the work of our hurling committees, our coaches, and volunteers, who give their time and energy week after week. They are the backbone of the association, and they deserve partners who match their ambition and their work ethic. This sponsorship will help to sustain momentum, improve standards, and support participation across all ages.

Finally, I encourage our Meath GAA supporters and the wider GAA community to support McNamara Feeds in return, and to continue backing Meath senior, U20 and minor Hurling with pride and positivity. We look forward to working closely with McNamara Feeds over the coming seasons, and I wish them every success as part of the Meath GAA family.
